In order to send the Admin Messages over the mesh, a secure method of communication must be established.
For firmware versions 2.5 and later, this is achieved by storing the public key of the controlling node in the remote node's Security Config. Up to three separate public keys can be stored in any node's settings, allowing some flexibility around remote node administration.
For firmware versions 2.5 and later, this is achieved by storing the public key of the controlling node in one of the remote node's Security Config Admin Key fields. A node has up to three separate Admin Key fields, allowing some flexibility around remote node administration.
For firmware versions 2.4.x and earlier, this was achieved by setting up a channel with the name `admin` and a shared PSK. Commands were issued in various ways depending on the Client App, with the Admin Messages passed between nodes over this channel similar to the legacy DMs. Any node in the channel can manage any other node.
For firmware versions 2.4.x and earlier, this was achieved by setting up a channel with the name `admin` and a shared PSK. Admin Messages passed between nodes over this channel similar to the legacy DMs, encrypted only with the channel's PSK. Any node in the channel could manage any other node.
This `admin` channel method is still supported in firmware versions 2.5 and later, but must be specifically enabled via the "Legacy Admin channel" setting.
This `admin` channel method is still supported in firmware versions 2.5 and later, but must be specifically enabled via the "Legacy Admin channel" setting and is only for managing pre-2.5 nodes. A firmware version 2.5 and later node cannot be managed in this way.
